Arrogence, Lying, Bullsh#t, March 28, 2005
Reviewer: Ohio-based Economics and Computer Nerd (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews
The premise is flaw. The "left" -- such as it is -- includes people fully dedicated to detroying anti-modern / anti-democratic / and anti-market trends in the world -- which includes Islam and the radical right -- in favor of equality of men and women (not a big part of Islam or the radical right), the triumph of science of myth (not a big part of Islam or the radical right), and the notion of free speech (something Horiwitz knows nothing about).

Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet

quote:
Product Description:

When George W. Bush campaigned for the White House, he was such a novice in foreign policy that he couldn’t name the president of Pakistan. But he was advised by a group that called themselves the Vulcans—a group of men and one woman with long and shared experience in government, dating back to the Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and first Bush administrations. After returning to power in 2001, the Vulcans—including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Armitage, and Condoleeza Rice—were widely expected to restore U.S. foreign policy to what it had been in past Republican administrations. Instead, they put America on an entirely new course, adopting a far-reaching set of ideas and policies that changed the world and America’s role in it.

In this revelatory and newsworthy volume, James Mann narrates the hidden story of these six history makers, their early careers and rise to power, the interactions and underlying tensions among them, their visions, and their roles in the current administration. Along the way, he offers a wealth of new information (about how Rumsfeld schemed in the Nixon White House, how Cheney toiled as Rumsfeld’s doorkeeper, how Wolfowitz first warned of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East in the 1960s) to complete a remarkable look at George W. Bush’s inner circle.

No post with political books from my side. Only a question.

Where can you post about books that don't deal with politics?
And where can you post something about movies??

first question:

Here! Read my very first post in this thread. Noone said this was exclusively for political books!

second question:

Go to the chillout room, you'll find tons of threads with this topic. If not, just open a new one. Nobody will care as one more unnecessary thread in this huge pile of garbage wont make a difference

Twice thank you

As for reading, I read a lot of fantasy novels...

My all time favourits are

1) R. Jordan - Wheel of Time
2) Stephen King - The Dark Tower
3) Robin Hobb - The Farseer-Trilogy
4) G.R.R. Martin - A Song Of Ice and Fire
5) Steven Erikson - Tales of the Malazan Empire

Anyone familiar with these books?

Further, I've read some political stuff (or tried at least :P) but not much. Some stuff about Marx and Lenin... And that's all

Also read George Orwell's Animal Farm, books from Thea Beckman (very famous dutch autor) and that's quit it

Capatalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman

If there is any economic book out there that you should read this is it. Better than Road to Serfdom, and is written by the Einstein of Economics.

You dirty free-marketeer!

I did not read them. I did a work on HAYEK though, it is very interesting but I disagree with his philosophical thesis.

But on economics, my favorite book is by far Mark BLAUG - Economic Theory in Retrospect.
